I am arriving in Kochi with friends on 30 December and wondered where a good place to see in the new year would be. A bonkers party would be great - so I'm looking for events or venues that offer a good night out on the tiles. Failing that really great restaurant recommendations, fireworks displays or other amazing ideas are all welcome. It doesn't have to be in Kochi itself as we have a day to travel somewhere else worthwhile if Kochi is quiet.

I've been to Goa a few times for new year and fancied something different this time but that means I am a little in the dark about how Keralans see in the new year. Any advice is greatly received. Cheers folks!
